If people (and companies) couldn't borrow to invest, everyone would be much poorer now than they are now. Paying for things out of your own equity has opportunity costs. If you can get funding for cheaper from someone else, why wouldn't you?
And for the other major sector of the economy (the government) - if they couldn't borrow either, the Depression would have been much worse (Maynard Keynes - a rather famous economist - wrote a rather revolutionary book on aggregate demand and equilibrium in the economy).
